Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Engstrom was last seen at 8:43 p.m. on February 20, 1994, outside the Idle Spur Bar in the 1300 block Cleveland Street in Clearwater, Florida. Authorities stopped her while she was walking in the middle of the street at the time; she was carrying an open container of alcohol. She has never been heard from again. Engstrom stayed in touch with her family by telephone several times a month, but they have not heard from her since her disappearance. Her mother, who last saw her in January 1994, reported her as a missing person in December 1995, almost two years after she went missing. Prior to her disappearance, Engstrom had been arrested multiple times for prostitution, theft and drug charges, but her criminal record abruptly stopped after early 1994. She was a known prostitute in the Clearwater area, and lived near north Fort Harrison Avenue. She had also been arrested for prostitution in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Several other local prostitutes were murdered around the same time Engstrom disappeared. Investigators believe the women, including Engstrom, may have been victims of a serial killer, but no suspects have been named. Engstrom has connections to West Springfield, Massachusetts; McKeesport, Pennsylvania; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is the mother of identical twin sons, and in 1993 she gave birth to a daughter whom she placed for adoption. Her disappearance remains unsolved.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
